Hello, 1983

Liu Qingshan made this meeting very successful. He finalized the general idea of ​​the script and found a small actor.

Since the youngest fourth likes to be an actor, Liu Qingshan will of course help his sister, after all, fat water does not flow to outsiders.

We ate together in the cafeteria at noon, and continued to discuss in the afternoon. Before we knew it, the afternoon passed, and we ate dinner here again. Only then did Brother Liang and Xiaoying return to the city full of reluctance.

They made an appointment to bring in Shuo Ye, the representative of Beijing-style culture, and try to save the book first.

As for the investor, of course, it is the entertainment company under the tree.

For the rest, there is basically no need for Liu Qingshan to worry about it, and Gao Lingfeng can be completely responsible.

And Liu Qingshan started to prepare for the trip to the island with peace of mind. .

Three days later, Liu Qingshan and Wu Tong boarded the plane bound for Tokyo, accompanied by members of the Girls' Twelve Band and several staff members.

In addition, Uncle Lu is also in the team. Liu Qingshan is a second knife in terms of antiques, so it is safer to go to Master Lu.

There are also two generals, Lao Mao'er and Li Tie Niu, who act as guardians, and Lu Fang and Lu Liang assisted.

This time, it may involve huge funds and valuable cultural relics and works of art. Liu Qingshan must also be careful.

There were pick-up personnel sent by the inviting party and several reporters at the airport for brief interviews.

The scene is not lively, mainly due to the impact of the economic crisis.

Among them, one of the reporters was the most inexplicable, and also used Liu Qingshan's paper to find trouble:

"Mr. Mountain, since you foresaw this crisis, why didn't you warn us in advance that you were prejudiced against us?"

After hearing Wu Tong's translation, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but want to laugh, so he bluntly went back:

"First of all, make a statement, you should call me Mr. Liu."

"I'll officially answer your question next. My paper is public and can be consulted. Isn't this a reminder?"

Immediately, Liu Qingshan spread his hands again: "But all this doesn't work, no one believes it at all, and even I was ridiculed a lot at the time, I still say that, only after the bubble burst,

People know it's a bubble. "

With the inflated self-confidence of the islanders at that time, let alone Liu Qingshan, it would be difficult for anyone to come.

The reporter was also speechless, so he could only continue to look for things: "Mr. Liu, I heard that your Blue Bird company has developed a new type of mobile phone that uses lithium battery technology."

"As far as I know, our country is the most advanced in lithium battery technology, so I have reason to suspect that you stole our technology through some shady means!"

For this groundless accusation, Wu Tong also made a pretty face:

"Mr. Reporter, please be responsible for your own words and deeds. Could it be that if you plagiarize from a person who can only get a B grade during the exam, can you plagiarize it into an A?"

In addition to Wu Tong, there is also a translator in the team. He translated Wu Tong's words. Even Liu Qingshan couldn't help but raise his thumb: Well said!

The reporter who wanted to pick something up had no choice but to step aside.

The rest are basically entertainment reporters, and the questions are finally back on track.

After leaving the airport by car and entering the urban area of ​​Tokyo, even the girls who got on the car at Lefang clearly felt a change: why does it seem to be different from the last time I came here?

Although there are still many high-rise buildings, and although the traffic is still flowing, it is obvious that passers-by are in a hurry.

The arrogance and self-confidence on their faces have subsided significantly, perhaps this is the source of the change?

The economic war between the United States and Japan ended in complete defeat for the island nation.

In the final analysis, between countries, it is still necessary to use real strength to speak.

This economic crisis has indeed been hit very hard. It poured cold water on the hot-headed islanders, making them finally wake up and re-understand themselves and the world.

However, the response of the islanders was still very fast, and they immediately began to adjust the industry.

In particular, it took the initiative to strengthen cooperation with Huaxia, which is the first developed country to return to normalization with Huaxia.

The reason is simple: they regard the current China as the main target of commodity exports.

As the traffic flowed on the street, Liu Qingshan thought a lot.

After arriving at the hotel arranged by the inviting party, everyone finally settled down.

Take an afternoon off and go to the reception dinner in the evening.

This time, the Girls' Twelve Band did not arrange performances. They mainly participated in some TV programs and recorded records, so it was relatively easy.

The representative of the inviting party was very polite: "I hope the performers can use music to heal the wounds of the people's hearts."

That's right, in the current state of the island country, the elegant ancient musical instruments can indeed make their minds quiet.

Of course, this comfort comes at a certain economic price.

But for them who suffered heavy losses, it was not bad.

The representative also complimented Liu Qingshan: "Sir, the most popular piece of music today is the original scenery of your hometown."

Liu Qingshan is also a little strange: Oh, is there any special reason for this?

"The economic situation is not good, many people are bankrupt, and even carry high debts, so people want to go back to their hometowns and live a quiet life."

The representative spoke in a low tone.

It turned out to be like this, Liu Qingshan didn't know how to continue, should he be happy, or should he express sympathy?

But what is certain is that the sales of the album will definitely not be bad.

Under the Great Depression, on the contrary, cultural entertainment will flourish. It has to be said that this is a relatively common phenomenon in the world.

Liu Qingshan wasn't used to drinking the sake here, so he didn't drink much. Instead, it was the people who invited him, probably because they were in a bad mood, and they all drank a little too high.

I don't know who took the lead and sang the Spring of the Northern Kingdom together, adding a bit of sadness and frustration to the scene.

This also makes Liu Qingshan feel a little more alert: If you don't want to suffer the pain of failure, then keep trying to maintain success...

One night off, the next day, the Twelve Girls Band was taken to participate in the TV show, and the rest of Liu Qingshan and the others became idlers.

Liu Qingshan was also ready to start his official job, and Uncle Lu was also gearing up: "Qingshan, where should we go to Taobao? I wonder if there are any antique shops here, little devil?"

"Uncle, let's go to the bank." Liu Qingshan smiled.

Uncle Lao Mao'er also nodded: "Yes, go to the bank to withdraw money before shopping for goods."

Liu Qingshan explained to them: To buy artworks, instead of going to a museum or an auction house, Liu Qingshan chose a bank instead.

Because of the bursting of the real estate bubble, people who can't pay their mortgages have mortgaged their cars, houses and other valuables to banks.

The same is true of art. In the past two years, the most willing thing for banks in island countries to do is to lend money to those art investors and let them take the banknotes and buy them at Sotheby’s or Christie’s.

Now that the loan cannot be paid, the only way to repay the debt is to use art.

So if you want to buy art, the bank is the best choice.

Only then did Uncle Lu understand the reasoning: "Qingshan, how much money do you prepare this time, do you want to make a big fight?"

Liu Qingshan nodded: "Uncle, I have turned over 300 million US dollars from overseas, plus a few companies have collected 50 million, a total of 350 million, you can spend it."

"It seems a little too much!"

Uncle Lu was stunned and the old hat was also taken aback. Over the years, they have followed Liu Qingshan to collect antiques, which is considered a big deal, and the funds flowing out of their hands are nearly ten million.

But this kind of hundreds of millions of dollars is the first contact, let alone US dollars.

After the shock, Uncle Lu was ecstatic again: "Okay, Qingshan, then let's have a good fight, you can see, I will definitely hit the knife!"

Uncle Lao Mao'er also put on a stance of sharpening his knives: "In these years, little devils have drawn a lot of good things from our country. This time, our grandfathers will charge some interest first."

Liu Qingshan also thinks so, taking advantage of the fire or something, although it is a bit unrighteous, but who is the score used for it, isn't it?

So everyone went out together, Wu Tong acted as a guide, took two taxis, and went to the Bank of Tokyo first, because this is the only foreign exchange professional bank.

When they got out of the car in front of the bank building, several people were a little dizzy, and saw a long queue at the gate, a total of several.

"This bank's business is really good." Uncle Lu murmured.

Liu Qingshan didn't speak. In his opinion, most of these should be for mortgage.

You can see from the faces of the people lining up, most of them are frowning and staring blankly.

"Are we lining up too?" Uncle Lu was a little dizzy looking at the long queue. This has to be the year of the monkey and the month of the horse?

Liu Qingshan waved his hand: "We are here to handle bulk foreign exchange business, of course we don't have to queue here."

So he stepped forward and walked straight to the door.

A bank clerk was there to maintain order at the door. Seeing that Liu Qingshan and his party were very popular, they hurriedly bowed and asked.

Wu Tong explained his intention to them in Japanese. When he heard that the person in front of him was going to handle a business worth hundreds of millions of dollars, the staff bowed even more.

Naturally, at his level, he is not qualified to receive such VIPs, and he must report to his superiors immediately.

Their conversation was also overheard by the people lining up next to them. I saw a middle-aged man rushing out of the team and rushed straight to Liu Qingshan.

"What are you doing?" The old hat thought he was going to steal money, so he raised his foot and kicked the guy away.

His kick was very skillful, and he didn't want to hurt anyone, but mainly to repel the opponent, after all, he was in another country.

The middle-aged man in the suit quickly got up, but instead kept bowing, and said something in his mouth.

Confused Lao Mao'er: "These guys are sick, right? The more you beat him, the more you bow, Tie Niu, why don't you try hitting him twice?"

Li Tie Niu is sincere, and he really wants to go up with a big fist.

But Wu Tong stopped him: "This person is not malicious, maybe he heard that we want to take a large amount of money, so he wants us to invest in his company."

During the conversation, some people in the team ran towards this side, but the security guards at the door couldn't stop them.

"I'm welcome to come here again!" Li Tieniu and Uncle Lao Mao'er stood in front of other people like two iron towers.

There are also brothers Lu Fang and Lu Liang, who are also ready to fight.

But those who went bankrupt were extremely crazy. When they saw rich investors, they continued to dash forward as if they saw their own father.

"Sir, come in!"

The bank's security guards couldn't stand it either, so they could only separate two people and lead Liu Qingshan and the others to the bank building.

The old hater was a little dissatisfied: "What are you busy with, I still want to defeat a few people who have fun."

Anyway, when he beat the little devil, there was no psychological pressure.

Li Tieniu's realm is obviously a little higher than that of Uncle Master: "Uncle Master, it's not interesting to beat these ordinary people. I heard that there are no karate masters here. If you want to fight, you can fight this."

Several people were invited into the VIP room, served with coffee, and soon a business manager in a suit came to say hello.

The manager, surnamed Heotian, first greeted him politely, and then graciously asked Liu Qingshan and others about their coming.

He is also engaged in finance, and naturally he has heard the name of Liu Qingshan.

Especially in recent months, Liu Qingshan's thesis on the bubble economy of island countries has been widely disseminated around the world and is gaining momentum.

Liu Qingshan said with a smile: "Mr. Kuroda, I have recently become interested in investing in antiques and artworks."

Kuroda immediately understood: this was for a bargain.

He was also a little regretful in his heart, if it were someone else, he would definitely fool the other party into buying real estate.

But in the face of a well-known economist, he did not dare to think otherwise.

Now the banks, most of which are mortgaged real estate, are almost crushing the banks.

If someone is willing to take over the real estate, that is the happiest thing for the bank, and it is fine to be offered by the ancestors.

However, the artworks are also good. There are also countless artworks mortgaged in the safe of the bank. If someone takes over, of course they are welcome.

Kuroda quickly asked someone to bring over several manuals, which were densely filled with catalogues of various works of art.

Uncle Lu and Lao Mao'er brought it over to take a look, they felt dizzy, and Lao Mao'er mumbled, "You have to see specific objects for this thing."

And Uncle Lu noticed the price above, and the long series of numbers also made him secretly startled.

One, two, three, silently tens of thousands of numbers in his heart, Uncle Lu also cried out: "More than 30 million, is it Japanese yen?"

Liu Qingshan looked at the currency symbol at the back: "Uncle, it's US dollars."

Uncle Lu also gasped: Originally, he thought that 350 million US dollars could buy a lot, but now it seems that at this price, he can buy ten or eight pieces.

Wu Tong whispered to Liu Qingshan to translate the name of the artwork on the book, UU Reading www.uukanshu. The ones with the highest prices in front of com are basically oil paintings, and most of them are Impressionist or Picasso works.

Just like the one that Uncle Lu saw just now, it is Van Gogh's work, a vase and 15 sunflowers.

The list price is: $39.7 million.

This was taken back by Taio Goto in 1987, thus ushering in an era of crazy push-up artworks by buyers from island countries.

The following years: Retail giant Sanye Department Store paid $38.5 million for Picasso masterpieces, acrobats and young harlequins.

At Christie's auction in New York, Saito Liao Ying paid 82.5 million US dollars for Van Gogh's masterpiece, the portrait of Doctor Gachet, setting the highest price for a painting at the time.

Saito is a big spender, and since then he has sold Renoir's masterpiece, The Ball at the Moulin Rouge, for $78.1 million.

The result of this is that the art speculators in Europe and the United States are almost dizzy, and they welcome this kind of people who are stupid and have a lot of money.
